Not later than friday night... career, mid April 1940...
Well, I was ordered to patrol AN44 and I m always trying to do what I m ordered... still, April 1940 is a good month to hunt some big fast screw between Norway and Scapa Flow. So, I m out of Kiel and planed a cruise to norway and then a long patroling cruise between Trondeihm and Scapa Flow. 25 meters deep for 10 minutes every 4 hours... got a lot of fast track! none that I can ambush
Reach Scapa Flow with nothing!
Well... doesn t matter, let s take a tour into Scapa then...
For Scapa I have a basic tactic. I m entering by the main entrance (south) at night then go north to the port, then go west to the isle, then east to the other side, then south and bye bye... worked like a charm 2 or 3 times now...
Well, it worked as nice as the last times... but nothing in scapa flow!!! just 2 damn destroyer patroling the bay... I dislike engaging patrolling destroyer inside Scapa... too dangerous...
So I went out, and planed a path along the british cost before going to the Kiel canal... as I was planning for my journey hope with 9 of my torpedoes (first time I head home with more than 2 of them
), the fog went out... 10 minutes after "Ship spotted!"....
A destroyer 200 meters in front of me and heading right on me! Got ramed and sunk by direct depth charge hit less than 1 minute after spotting him and after the worse patrol I ever played :hmm:
